[opensuse] Removing Gnome
Hi all, When I initially installed openSUSE 10.2, I choose all the default settings, big mistake, after that I realized that the default desktop enviroment was GNOME and not KDE I as expected so I reinstalled choosing both desktop environments.... now i want to uninstall al the gnome desktop, so, is it sure doing that through YAST? or is it better to wait for openSUSE 10.3 and upgrade the system just with the KDE option?

Well, keep in mind that some apps - if you use them - use the GNOME libraries. For example, I occasionally use Pan, which requires the GNOME libraries. However, if you want to remove the GNOME desktop, by all means. Go to YaST or SMART and remove it. -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yast will of course leave all needed libraries in the system, you shouldn't be afraid of any problems. Update to 10.3 would still leave GNOME in the system, you will need to remove it manually anyway.
However, if you want to remove the GNOME desktop, by all means. Go to YaST or SMART and remove it.
Just start the Software management module in Yast and remove patterns 'GNOME Base System' and 'GNOME Desktop Environment' and install the KDE patterns instead. And that's it.

Exactly! I should have mentioned that. I don't have the GNOME desktop but do have the appropriate libraries needed for GIMP and PAN. -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
